He has been unduly ridiculed over the years. But I’m pulling for him. He might be like Earl Morrell, who was a far better reliever in his later years than he ever was as a starter. At lest that’s the way I remembered it…can you corroborate that George?

Super Bowl against the Jets in 68 real well. I was working for Ingersoll Rand fresh out of college. It was a large office with about 500 salaried people. Most of the guys said they weren’t going to bother watching the game because the Colts were going to murder the Jets. Don’t forget, the Super Bowl wasn’t that big of a deal back then, especially since the NFL was creaming the AFL teams every year.

I was working on my car and at the last minute decided to watch the game alone. As the game played out and the Jets looked like they were going to win, all of a sudden Unitas limped back in, and nearly got the Colts back in the game. I think if he had come in a little sooner the Colts might have pulled it out. It was a remarkable performance by Unitas since I think he was still injured.

Then, the next year I think, the Mets managed to beat Baltimore in the World Series, which was just as astonishing. Then damned if the Chiefs didn’t beat the Vikings in the 69 Super Bowl. I think that was the game when he was wired and uttered that “65 toss power trap” comment. I still love to watch that clip. Old Hank was a great guy!

I think that Kerry Collins is a better parallel to Morrall than Carr – Remember that Collins started this year as a sub. I do think Collins has a better arm than Morrall ever did, but in both cases, they bounced around a number of teams, and as they got older, they played smarter

As for Carr? Ask again in 10 years

is Carr playing tomorrow?
